Undertaking collaborative projects with pharma and allied industry is one of the effective ways of making the pharma students industry- ready. My collaboration with Natoli Labs at Bombay College of Pharmacy was a wonderful experience wherein two of my post graduate research students received an excellent learning opportunity. Natoli lab has a set up that exactly represents the GMP-compliant manufacturing facility. The lab is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure to conduct tableting trials. Dr Ramprakash Govindarajan, Principal Scientist of the Natoli lab, is very cooperative, welcoming, and helpful. He takes great interest in projects and gives valuable inputs and suggestions during the project trials. My students have learnt the nitty gritty and nuances of the entire tablet compression process during their project trials at Natoli. I express my heartfelt gratitude towards the team of Natoli Labs, especially Dr Ramprakash, for kindly giving us the opportunity to carry out the research work at Natoli, treating the students with care and compassion, and most importantly training and enlightening them.
